After seeing the inside of a company that believes in the web I’m now certain that the web is dead. That is why I decided to accept an offer to work for Microsoft, not with the web but with Windows. I believe that Windows is the future and the web will continue to be an inferior alternative to Microsoft Word documents. I believe the future is in fat applications written in .Net and launched through ClickOnce. ClickOnce is awesome and I believe it will revolutionize the way people use the web. Who wants to go to a web page when they can download and install the application on their local machine?
As of Monday I’ll be working from the Microsoft Redmond campus. I’m so excited
The famous Swedish sense of humour?
Crazy… I also accepted a position at Microsoft, today. Windows Live team, though.. I figure I could help them shape the user experience of their Live products to match Windows… I’m already working on a really blue screen that I plan to populate with cryptic error codes. As a bonus (touted as a security enhancement), it’ll close the browser and shutdown the computer.
Is prank or …?
Dean, last year you bought a similar joke
Doh! I was hoping you’d forget that.
Oh, too quickly job change. First worked in google, and now in Microsoft. But I don’t belive *fat applications* are good idea for instead of Web application. Because they are used by situation.
April Fools’ Day! Oh, I was fooled.
